2 Self Test Question Which form of strain occurs in cycloalkanes when bond angles are distorted from their natural preference? steric strain groups close in space eclipsed bonds angle strain A. van der Waals strain B. steric strain C. compression strain D. torsional strain E. Baeyer strain Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 The Answer is E. Factors A, B, D and E all potentially contribute to the strain energy in cyclohexanes, but that arising from bond angle deformations is termed Baeyer strain. Slide 2 2

3 Summary of Strain Energy strain energy: additional potential energy associated with unfavorable interactions in different conformations 1. Angle strain (Baeyer strain): increase in energy associated with deviation of natural bond angles (i.e. predicted by VSEPR). natural bond angle for sp 3 carbon = 109.5º actual bond angle in cyclopropane = 60º Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 3 3

4 Summary of Strain Energy strain energy: additional potential energy associated with unfavorable interactions in different conformations 2. Torsional strain: increase in energy associated with eclipsed electron pairs (typically in covalent bonds). 3 C C 3 staggered conformation all groups gauche (θ = 60º) or anti, (θ = 180º) lowest energy (most stable) C 3 C 3 eclipsed conformation all groups eclipsed (θ = 0º) highest energy (least stable) Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 4 4

5 Summary of Strain Energy strain energy: additional potential energy associated with unfavorable interactions in different conformations 3. Steric strain (van der Waals strain): increase in energy associated adjacent groups being close together (i.e. overlapping van der Waals radii); most pronouced for large groups (i.e. two eclipsed -C 3 ) no steric strain between adjacent hydrogen atoms slight steric strain between adjacent & C 3 groups (~1.4 kcal/mol) large steric strain between adjacent, eclipsed C 3 groups (~3.1 kcal/mol) Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 5 5

6 Conformational Analysis: Combined Energy Costs in Alkanes total energy cost = sum of steric strain and torsional strain 1 kcal = kj most stable (lowest NRG) least stable (highest NRG) Adjacent Groups Relationship Strain energy 3 C anti C 3 3 C C 3 C 3 C 3 syn C 3 C 3 gauche 0 C 3 gauche 0 C 3 C 3 gauche 0.9 kcal/mol individual components of total energy cost for each conformation 1(1.0) = 1.0 2(1.4) = 2.8 tot = 3.8 kcal/mol 1(0.9) = 0.9 tot = 0.9 kcal/mol 2(1.0) = 2.0 1(3.1) = 3.1 tot = 5.1 kcal/mol eclipsed 1.0 kcal/mol C 3 eclipsed 1.4 kcal/mol C 3 C 3 eclipsed 3.1 kcal/mol Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 6 6

C 3 3 C C 3 C 3 2(0.9) = 1.8 tot = 1.8 kcal/mol 3 C C 3 C 3 1(0.9) = 0.9 tot = 0.9 kcal/mol C 3 3 C 3 C 1(3.1) = 3.1 2(1.4) = 2.8 tot = 5.9 kcal/mol A. a, b, c, d B. b, c, a, d C. c, b, a, d D. d, a, b, c E. d, b, a, c Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 7 The Answer is C. Employing the table on Slide 6, determine the number of syn and significant gauche interactions (i.e. ignore - and -Me gauche interactions, but not Me-Me ones) and sum the associated strain energies. You will not be expected to remember these specific numbers, but will be expected to know how to employ them to determine strain energy. 7

Adjacent Groups Relationship Strain Energy gauche 0 C 3 gauche 0 C 3 C 3 gauche 0.9 kcal/mol eclipsed 1.0 kcal/mol C 3 eclipsed 1.4 kcal/mol C 3 C 3 eclipsed 3.1 kcal/mol 3 x 1.0 = 3.0 kcal/mol higher in energy A. 6.9 kcal/mol B. 3.0 kcal/mol C. 2.4 kcal/mol D. 1.0 kcal/mol E. no difference Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 The Answer is B. See notes for Slide 7. Slide 8 8

9 CEM 232 Organic Chemistry I Illinois at Chicago Conformations of Cyclohexane Sections

10 Conformers of Cyclohexane alf-chair (transition state) Energy Boat (transition state) Twist Boats (less than 0.1% at rt) Chair Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 10 10

11 Chair Conformation of Cyclohexane most stable (lowest energy conformation) all vicinal C-C & C- bonds are gauche (dihedral angle = 60º) bond angles at carbon are close to 109.5º 11 Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 11

12 Boat Conformation of Cyclohexane 108 pm least stable conformation all bond angles close to tetrahedral (109.5º) steric strain: repulsion between flagpole hydrogens torsional strain: eclipsed bonds Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 12 12

13 Why Chair and Boat? C C C C C C C C C C C C Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 13 13

14 Boat Conformer is Less Stable Than Chair Another View: eclipsed bonds produce torsional strain (raise energy) Steric strain (van der Waals strain) of flagpole hydrogens Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 14 14

15 Twist Boat is Slightly More Stable Than Boat less steric strain (van der Waals strain) less torsional strain; fewer eclipsed bonds Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 15 15

16 Axial & Equatorial Bonds in Cyclohexane 12 C- bonds can be divided into 2 sets: axial axis Tetrahedral Carbon Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 16 16

17 Axial & Equatorial Bonds in Cyclohexane 12 C- bonds can be divided into 2 sets: axial equatorial axis Tetrahedral Carbon Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 17 17

18 Sawhorse and Newman Projection of Cyclohexane Chair C C C C C C C C C 2 C 2 Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 18 18

19 Conformational Inversion is Rapid 5 3 X 1 Y Very Fast Ring Inversion 5 3 Y 1 X X axial; Y equatorial X equatorial; Y axial ring flipping = conformational inversion of cyclohexane chair-to-chair: all axial become equatorial and vice versa both chairs have equal energy (K eq = 1) activation energy = 10.8 kcal/mol (45 kj/mol) Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 19 19

20 ow to Cyclohexane Skeleton Draw two parallel lines that are offset and at approximately 45º from any axis. 2. Connect the offset ends of the lines with the equilateral sides of an isosceles triangle. Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 20 20

21 Now Add the ydrogen Atoms... Add Axial ydrogens All bonds should be aligned and alternate up and down around the ring Add Equatorial ydrogens Each equatorial C- bond should be parallel to two C-C bonds Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 21 21

22 Finally, Put It All Together... Notice the "W" shape here... Add all 6 C- Bonds...and the "M" shape here Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 22 22

23 Common Mistakes ow not to draw cyclohexanes... the chair has been drawn with the middle bonds horizontal, so the upper points of the chair are not level. Axial bonds cannot be drawn vertically the axial hydrogens have been drawn alternating up and down on the wrong carbons - none of the C-centers are tetrahedral! the red hydrogens have been drawn at the wrong angles - notice the lack of "W" and "M" Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 23 23

24 Mechanism of Ring-Flipping (No Boat Required) transition state activation energy (Ea) intermediate transition state Intermediate local minimum energy species on the potential energy profile TS (transition state) local maximum energy species on the potential energy profile act (activation energy) energy required to reach the transition state Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 24 24

25 Self Test Question Using the table below, estimate the difference in energy ( E) between the two conformations of methyl-cyclohexane? Use a model to determine the # of gauche & eclipsed relationships Adjacent Groups Relationship Strain Energy gauche 0 C 3 gauche 0 C 3 C 3 gauche 0.9 kcal/mol anti C 3 anti C 3 A. 3.1 kcal/mol B. 2.8 kcal/mol C. 1.8 kcal/mol eclipsed 1.0 kcal/mol C 3 eclipsed 1.4 kcal/mol C 3 C 3 eclipsed 3.1 kcal/mol C 3 gauche 2(0.9)=1.8 C 3 gauche D. 1.0 kcal/mol E. no difference Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide The Answer is C. As before, determine the strain energy of the axial conformer by identifying bad gauche interactions (Me-C2) and summing their contributions to strain energy. In the case of the axial conformer of methylcyclohexane, you must consider the gauche interaction between Me-(C1)- (C2)-(C3) as well as between Me-(C1)-(C6)-(C5).

C 3 Very Fast Ring Inversion 5% 95% conformer with equatorial methyl is more stable by 7.3 kj/mol although ring flipping occurs, at any given moment 95% of conformers have the methyl group equatorial (K = 19) axial methyl group is crowded (steric strain) C 3 eq. Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 27 27

28 Steric Strain: 1,3-Diaxial Repulsions these interactions are very similar to those found in the syn-periplanar and gauche conformations of n-butane Van der Waals strain between hydrogens of axial C 3 and axial hydrogens at C-3 and C-5 Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Smaller van der Waals strain between hydrogens at C-1 and axial hydrogens at C-3 and C-5 Slide 28 28

29 The Bigger the Group, The Bigger the Strain F F 40% 60% 3 C C 3 C 3 3% 97% Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 C 3 Slide 29 29

30 tert-butyl Group is Very Bulky Me Me Me Me Me Me Less than 0.01% (Severe 1,3-diaxial replusions involving tert-butyl group) Greater than 99.99% (Decreased van der Waals strain) Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 30 The energy difference between axial and equatorial conformers is ~20 kj/mol and the equilibrium constant (K) is >3000. At room temperature, >99.99% of tert-butylcyclohexane is in the equatorial conformation. 30

32 Reminder: Isomer Classification stereoisomers Can the molecules be interconverted by rotation around single bonds? yes no conformational configurational Me Me anti butane Me Me gauche butane need to break bonds in order to convert one molecule into another Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 32 32

33 Self Test Question Determine which set of molecules are configurational stereoisomers; the remaining three sets are either conformational isomers or identical. a. b. 3 C C 3 3 C C 3 c. d. 3 C 3 C C 3 C 3 C 3 A. a B. b C. c 3 C C 3 3 C C 3 C 3 C 3 C 3 D. d Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 33 Configuration isomers differ from conformational isomers in that they can only be interconverted through bond breaking processes. The answer is A. Pairs C and D are conformational stereoisomers (conformers) of one another. Pair B are identical. 33

34 Configurational Stereoisomers of 1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane 3 C C 3 3 C C 3 cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane no conformational isomers of cyclopropane since there is no rotation around C-C bonds in the ring cis = groups on the same side (plane) of ring trans = groups on the opposite side (plane) of ring configurational stereoisomers = must break bonds to interconvert Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 34 34

35 Relative Stabilities of Configurational Isomers Measured by eat of Combustion - cis configuration = methyl groups closer = greater steric strain = higher energy = more heat realeased upon combustion = higher heat of combustion Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 35 35

36 Configurational Stereoisomers of 1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane 3 C C 3 3 C C 3 cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane higher energy (less stable) lower energy (more stable) trans is more stable in 1,4 configuration but not because of steric strain: methyl groups are too far apart to crowd each other Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 36 36

37 Conformational Analysis of Cis- and Trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane two equivalent conformations each has one axial methyl groups and one equatorial methyl group 3 C cis isomer C 3 equal in energy C 3 C 3 more groups equatorial = more stable overall, trans is more stable than cis because it can adopt conformation with all groups equatorial C 3 trans isomer C 3 3 C C 3 most stable Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 37 37

38 Configurational Stereoisomers of 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane 3 C C3 C 3 cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane higher energy (less stable) C 3 trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane lower energy (more stable) trans is also more stable in 1,2 configuration trans can adopt conformation with both methyl groups equatorial Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 38 38

39 Conformational Analysis of Cis- and Trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane two equivalent conformations each has one axial methyl groups and one equatorial methyl group C 3 C 3 cis equal in energy C 3 C 3 more groups equatorial = more stable overall, trans is more stable than cis because it can adopt conformation with all groups equatorial C 3 C 3 trans C 3 most stable C 3 Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 39 39

40 Configurational Stereoisomers of 1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane C 3 C 3 3 C C 3 cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane lower energy (more stable) trans-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane higher energy (less stable) unlike 1,2 and 1,4-disubstituted rings, cis-1,3 is most stable only cis can adopt a conformation with both methyl groups in equatorial positions Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 40 40

41 Conformational Analysis of Cis- and Trans-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane two axial groups is much higher in energy than two equatorial groups in this case, cis is the configuration with the conformation with most equatorial groups C 3 C 3 cis 3C C 3 most stable two equivalent energy conformations for trans each has one axial and one equatorial methyl group 3 C C 3 trans C 3 C 3 equal in energy Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 41 41

42 Converting Wedge & Dash Drawings of Cyclohexane to Chair-Conformations While wedge & dash drawings are convenient, they give little information about conformational relationships C 3 C3 3 1 C 3 C Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Steps 1. Number the wedge & dash drawing. 2. Draw a chair-cyclohexane skeleton. 3. Number the chair skeleton. 4. Draw axial and equatorial positions on the skeleton where subsituents will go. 5. Place the first substituent in either position. 6. Place second substituent cis or tran relative to the first. Slide 42 42

43 A Trickier Example While wedge & dash drawings are convenient, they give little information about conformational relationships C C C3 C3 Steps 1. Number the wedge & dash drawing. 2. Draw a chair-cyclohexane skeleton. 3. Number the chair skeleton. 4. Draw axial and equatorial positions on the skeleton where subsituents will go. 5. Place the first substituent in either position. 6. Place second substituent cis or tran relative to the first. Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Slide 43 43

44 Self Test Question Which is the most stable conformation of trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane? a. b. Br identical Br Br Xnot trans d. e. Br Illinois at Chicago CEM 232, Spring 2010 Br Br Br Br Br c. X Br not 1,2 Br Br A. a B. b C. c D. d E. e Slide 44 The answer is C. Compound E is not trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane but trans-1,4- dibromocyclohexane, a structural isomer. Structure B is cis-1,2-dibromocyclohexane, a configurational isomer. trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane is therefore represented by conformers A, D and C. Conformers A and D are identical and higher in energy than C since they have two substituents in the axial position while C has two groups in equatorial positions. 44
